HC Deb 21 May 1906 vol 157 c928
MR. BYLES (Salford, N.)

I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he can state the number of Zulus reported as killed in the various engagements which have occurred during the Bambata rebellion, and what have been the losses in the Colonial troops.

MR. RUNCIMAN

Up to the present the numbers as reported to the Secretary of State in the telegrams he has received from the Governor relating to the operations in connection with the Bambata rebellion are, losses in the Colonial troops five killed, five wounded, besides two native policemen wounded. The number of Zulus reported killed is eighty-five.

MR. SWIFT MACNEILL (Donegal, S.)

There are no reports of the wounded. Has the hon. Gentleman any information about them?

MR. RUNCIMAN

I will communicate my hon. friend's desire to the Secretary of State.
